A sole outing last season clearly laid the foundation for the desired progression which was duly found this term. He returned to action at Toomebridge where he was a fine third on the second weekend of the new season. He made further progress to win on his next outing at Moira beating Moon Over Mexico by almost a length. His Dam is already a proven producer having produced two black type performers in Irish Thistle and Why Not Thistle amongst other winners. Having made all the running it appeared as though many were set to come and challenge after two out but he showed wonderful resilience to fend off all challengers and hold his advantage to the line.
